Perfect little boys

Whenever I complain about something one of our sons is doing that is driving me crazy, Mark tells me, "He's a perfect boy." We have two of them. This week, Matthew and Maxwell seem to be having a "most difficult child to handle" contest. Help me decide who is winning.

Yesterday, Max:

• Whined endlessly
• Screamed when I asked him to communicate using words/signs (like more, please, all done, etc- and I didn't ask him like that! I asked him, "Are you all done?" His response? "AUGGHHHH!")
  
• Would not so much as let me fold laundry without holding him
• Threw the food I tried to give him on the newly mopped floor
• Flushed another shoe down the toilet
• Threw temper tantrums when I wouldn't let him play in the disposal, garbage, or toilet
• Went straight for the mud when we went outside
• Clung to my legs while I cooked
  

Today, Matthew:

• Poured dishwasher detergent powder all over the floor and then dragged it through the house
• Locked Max in a room to torture him
  
• Sprayed furniture polish all over the floor
• When I put him in laundry room for Time Out for spraying the polish, he dumped the contents of the CCA donations box everywhere, as well as the dirty laundry, and mixed them together.
• He then went upstairs to use his bathroom. He didn't want to see the contents of the toilet he'd just filled, so he threw lots and lots of TP in the bowl. What a surprise, it overflowed, with all the awful ingredients, all over relatively newly cleaned bathroom.
• Since the shower curtain was marred in the incident above, I sent him to my shower to bathe. He decided to mix the shampoos and conditioners (including my b-day present conditioner) together in a giant concoction.
• While I was showering, he took the furniture polish to the new piano and sprayed it inside the keys. Yeah, the same stuff he got in trouble for just an hour before.
  

My boys are normally not this extreme. This is kind of an exceptional week. Typically we have lots of good things juxtapostioned with the, uh, things that make them perfect little boys. In any case, they each have a lot going for them to win this this contest!
